With a strong track record of cultivating and securing major gifts, you’ll play a key role in project managing our next capital funding appeal to support victims of stroke and other neurological conditions, engaging and motivating multiple internal and external stakeholders to ensure key milestones are met.
You’ll get the chance to work as part of our small and dynamic team, with a variety of flexible working arrangements. We're looking for someone with excellent written and verbal communication skills, a passion for our cause, and demonstrable experience of developing effective relationships with major donors and grant makers.
This role offers a fantastic mix of strategy and delivery, working closely with the Head of Charity and Head of Fundraising & Communications to steward existing supporters and encourage new donors to make long-term, sustainable, and significant gifts to support Southmead Hospital Charity’s major funding priorities.

Working within our small Partnerships Team to develop relationships across a range of audiences and working closely with the Charity Director and Head of Fundraising, you will have responsibility for securing six-figure gifts from philanthropic individuals and organisations to benefit patients and the incredible staff who look after them.
Key responsibilities will include cultivating deep relationships with both significant Charity donors and senior clinical colleagues in the Trust, detailed research on High-Net-Worth Individuals, writing complex proposals for support, facilitating cultivation events, and working closely with the Charity Director and Head of Fundraising and Communications to agree defined projects that require internal commitment and substantial financial support. You will also be responsible for managing our legacy pipeline and work closely with our Legacy Link Consultant to deliver efficient and effective estate administration.
You will need comprehensive knowledge of fundraising and considerable networking skills with the ability to identify influential contacts both internally and externally.
